The Hearing Loss/Alzheimer’s Connections
Recent research suggests that improving hearing loss with hearing aids reduces the risk for Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. In 2011, a team of Johns Hopkins medical school researchers discovered a significant association between hearing loss and the risk of developing these unwanted cognitive conditions. The worse someone’s hearing gets, the greater their risk of developing Alzheimer’s or dementia. The researchers believe their findings could have substantial implications for individuals and public health because hearing loss is treatable with hearing instruments. These findings underscore how important regular hearing tests are as part of preventative health care.

How Healthy Is Your Home?
Are the chemicals you’re using to clean your home actually doing more harm than good? The average household contains more than 60 harmful chemicals, and these can negatively impact your health and the health of your family. Cleaning with harsh chemicals can result in irritation in the eyes or throat, headaches, and even long-term effects like endocrine disruption (hormonal effects) and asthma. Consider using more plant and enzyme-based natural products that will get your home sparkling clean without sacrificing your family’s health. Natural ingredients can be just as effective, and provide the added benefit of being environmentally friendly as well!
Vipassana Meditation
Research has shown that meditation can expand the brain, and help people avert stress and disease. One way to achieve this is through Vipassana meditation, a technique that emphasizes mindfulness, with the goal of seeing things as they “really are”. An ancient meditative technique from India, Vipassana was taken up by Siddhartha Gautama (Buddha) just over 2,500 years ago. Vipassana meditation is an honest and direct practice: the moment-to-moment investigation of the mind-body process through calm, open, and precise awareness. This experience fosters clarity and penetrating insight into the nature of who we are, as well as increased peace in our daily lives.

Home is the Safest Place for Care
Many people want to remain in their own homes, independently, for as long as possible. The word “home” provides a sense of comfort, safety and familiarity. During the COVID pandemic, this couldn’t ring more true. With many businesses and services closed or severely limited, now is the time you may consider all inclusive home health care services. Staying home with all services provided by exclusive staff greatly reduces the risk for exposure to COVID-19 while still enabling you to remain safe, independent and alleviate potential loneliness.
Practicing Spiritual Wellness
Spiritual wellness is important and can help you find meaning and purpose. Much like practicing good habits when it comes to our physical wellness, we need to make time for our spiritual wellness. Whether you’re looking to achieve spiritual healing or are seeking guidance on growing in your faith, there are tools available that can help. Books, CDs, and DVDs created by renowned spiritual leaders and individuals living their faith can be a good place to turn for information and inspiration. As well, devotional items can be a source of strength during many of life’s challenges.
Chiropractic Care for Pregnancy
Why is chiropractic care so important during pregnancy? At its most basic premise, chiropractic will help you and your nervous system adapt during this major shift. It will help you deal with structural, hormonal and emotional stressors. Structurally, chiropractic will help keep your joints moving appropriately so you can make room for your growing baby. When the pelvis and low back vertebrae are moving appropriately, information can freely flow to all your muscles and organs, via your nerves. This may result in less pain and more nutrients to baby. Other benefits often seen in pregnant women under chiropractic care include headache relief, decrease in nausea and overall stress reduction. We are so honoured to check and adjust women during this monumental time in their lives.
